Bill Kristol is a swamp rat! His hero is Maverick McCain. Nuff said.
I don’t expect a strong primary challenge to Trump because that will just GOTV for MAGA voters. That’s the last thing the GOPe want because that will affect down ballot races. Instead the progressive Republicans will run somebody third party in the general. Like Flake and/or Kasich.
I wouldn’t put it past Kasich to run on 3rd party ticket. If he did that, it could hurt Trump in a close election. The Rats are most likely to nominate either Harris or Pocahontas to push the women’s meme.
